Stonemasons
Are becoming things of the past
And the modern age
Is finally taking us over at last
Don't you wonder why
They're tearing all the the old houses down?
Can't they see
That they're the best places around?
Don't tear it down
There's life in it yet
Don't tear it down
Don't you know that
History
Is written there deep in the walls
But the march of progress
Just wants to pour concrete over us all
Craftsmanship
The stone was cut by hand
Bulldozers
Are taking over the land
Don't tear it down, there's life in it yet
Don't tear it down, there's time for us yet
Don't tear it down
An expressway
Is planning to come thru our lounge
Eviction notes, in business coats
Never renovate, they just tear it down
A nation's heritage
They want to bring down without a sound
Another new town
On top of the real town
Don't tear it down, there's life in it yet
Don't tear it down, there's time for us yet
Don't tear it down, there's life in it yet
Don't tear it down
